have always had a bunch of interesting cars in the family and i havent been noticed more than i have in my sister's black/tuscan brown audi s5. people love it for some reason.

Probably because it's one of the most stunning automotive designs on the road today. If it wasn't so heavy and understeer-prone, I'd have one instead of my M. A7 looks great, too. Had one in my rear view yesterday in traffic and couldn't help staring...

I have owned them buddy. I know they look cool in the magazine but their not as great as a 14 year old makes them sound.

That's cool. But I look at a Lamborghini as the pinnacle of all cars. Of course there are faster cars, but I just feel once I reach that exotic level my car owning journey is complete. But I can understand one's love for his M3. It's a great car, it's just not a car that would fulfill me.

I understand what you mean. Lamborghini to you is what Ferrari is to me. Its not just speed; it is the connection of you with the car and the car with you. I guess I am just surprised at what the BMW M3 has evolved into. This is my 4th M3 and after this build I just cant believe the final product. The e92 M3 chassis is something really phenomenal.

So my wife and I were up at the vacation house in York Beach, Maine this past weekend. Just the two of us, no kids. From Friday through Sunday, I had no less than 6 people give me compliments on my car. While not an in-your-face exotic, my experience in 15 months of M3 ownership is that this car is not at all stealth. It gets noticed A LOT. And I don't have an outrageous color or super-mods either.

Please share YOUR experience.

Heh, yeah. Almost a month into ownership and its pretty popular here. The family tried to disown me when I sold the '11 S4 and ordered this one and now the kids fight for turns for school rides in the morning. Elementary school teachers and students tell me, drive thru windows(had a conversation with a lady just last night at our Steak-n-Shake on the options I ordered lol), people at the stores go look and want to talk about it... you'd never know this car is at EOL here in the SEast.

Yes... But i think my car looks pretty good with my MR and Gloss black combination...

to others.. i really cant say.. I have seen some M3 that are pretty nasty (in a bad way) and i still look and have a ? on my face.... Thinking WTF DID YOU DO THAT.... ive already seen some here... so yes since its an M3, people will look and they will look even more with a ????????? you fawk it up.. .LOL

Mines a head turner for sure. I basically store my car for the summer because it's too hot to drive with the top down. Just got her back on the road yesterday to head to the dealership for an oil change. Two guys in modified BMWs chased me down on the highway, just to pull up to me and give me the head nod. Another guy shouted to me at a stop light. (Which happens more times then I can count) Going to the gas station also gives me anxiety over all the attention the car gets. With that being said, I spent my two hours at the dealership talking with my SA (cool guy) who I believe has given me the final push I needed to decide to mod the exhaust on my baby. He told me to call Roman (I'll be calling). Philip, I'll be messaging you too for your advice.
